Manuel Rodríguez’s journey began in the heart of Madrid, where his family’s passion for flamenco and guitar-making shaped his destiny. Raised among the sawdust and melodies of his father’s workshop, he developed an unmatched artistry that took him across continents, from Spain to Los Angeles, crafting guitars that would resonate with musicians worldwide.
Through dedication and innovation, Rodríguez refined his craft, introducing groundbreaking designs and earning praise from legends like Andrés Segovia. His instruments became more than tools—they were storytellers, capturing the essence of tradition while embracing modern advancements. After decades abroad, his love for Spain called him home, where he continued his lifelong commitment to perfecting the sound of the Spanish guitar.
Now, UMusic Hotel Madrid proudly welcomes Manuel Rodríguez’s legacy within its walls. His new store, located in our hotel, is more than a place to purchase world-class guitars—it is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the deep connection between music and place.
At UMusic Hotels, we believe in contributing meaningfully to the development of our surrounding communities, nurturing artistry, and enriching local culture. By housing Rodríguez’s shop within our space, we help guests discover the stories behind each handcrafted instrument, offering visitors a deeper understanding of Madrid’s musical soul.
With the grand opening of his store at UMusic Hotel Madrid, Manuel Rodríguez’s legacy continues to thrive, uniting artists, travelers, and music lovers in an authentic and transformative experience.
